To use the BarChart Portlet, do the following:

1. Copy the BarChart.class, BarChartImage$CustomBarRenderer3D.class and BarChartImage.class files from com/wmpnj/bugz/portlets into the deployed web application directory; i.e. /webapps/bugs/WEB-INF/classes/com/wmpnj/bugz/portlets. This may require that you also copy the directory "portlets" if this is the first portlet you are deploying.
2. Update the dwr.xml file in the deployed web application WEB-INF directory; i.e. /webapps/bugs/WEB-INF. Edit the file with a text editor and add the following after the last </create> statement:

   <create creator="new" javascript="BarChart">
     <param name="class" value="com.wmpnj.bugz.portlets.BarChart" />
   </create>
   

3. Update the web.xml file in the deployed web application WEB-INF directory; i.e. /webapps/bugs/WEB-INF. Edit the file with a text editor and add the following after the last </servlet> statement, changing the number for the "load-on-startup" value to one more than the last servlet in the list above the point you paste the following:

   <servlet>
     <servlet-name>BarChartImage</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.wmpnj.bugz.portlets.BarChartImage</servlet-class>
     <load-on-startup>26</load-on-startup>
   </servlet>
   

    

   Move further down the file to the last </servlet-mapping> tag and paste the following in:

   <servlet-name>BarChartImage</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/barchart</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
   

4. Update the appropriate portlets.properties file in the deployed web application classes directory; i.e. /webapps/bugs/WEB-INF/classes/projectA_portlets_en_US.properties or 2080_portlets_en_US.properties:
   • Update the total count of portlets by incrementing the count of portlets by 1
   • Add the following in the position that you want the portlet to appear within your desired column. For example, if you want the Bar Chart to appear at the top of the right-most column in a three column portal, you must insert this ahead of any other portlet whose column is "2". After adding the following block, you MUST then renumber the portlets appropriately, beginning with 0, i.e. "portlet0", "portlet1".

           portlet25.title=Bar Chart
           portlet25.column=1
           portlet25.package=com.wmpnj.bugz.portlets.BarChart
           portlet25.className=BarChart
           portlet25.method=getText
           portlet25.stylesheet=
           portlet25.javascript=
           portlet25.desc=
           portlet25.call=
           portlet25.restrictTo=
           portlet25.params=DWRUtil.getValue("barchart")
     

You may change the title and column, but do NOT change the package, className,or method!
